The Maya Research Program offers opportunities for archaeologists to lead fieldwork and conduct research in northwestern Belize. The ideal candidate will be a recent Ph.D. or senior graduate student with well-developed research interests and capabilities. The successful applicant will be able to operate in a field school environment as a mentor while developing and publishing their own research. We are open to applicants with almost any research interest related to the ancient Maya.

From May to August, MRP sponsors four two-week long field sessions based in Blue Creek, Belize. A successful applicant will spend at least three summers in the field with the project (after a first trial summer). MRP will provide transportation, room and board, and some research support.

The person will participate fully as a staff member and excavation supervisor in MRP’s archaeological field school and will be responsible for both timely writing of field reports and support of our collective needs.

This is an open post without a deadline, but we will not consider applications after April 1 for participation in the summer 2013 fieldwork. Please send inquiries with a letter of interest and CV to Dr. Thomas Guderjan (tguderjan@utt.edu). No phone call please.
